Description: The "Amelia" in this song is a mostly factual version of my cat. Factual: she and I are getting through *this thing called life* in a symbiotic way. Factual: I wish I knew what she was thinking. Also factual: I have never successfully rhymed the word "blob" in a song before, so I'm thrilled regardless of the outcome. :)

The "Amelia" in this song is a mostly factual version of my cat. Factual: she and I are getting through *this thing called life* in a symbiotic way. Factual: I wish I knew what she was thinking. Also factual: I have never successfully rhymed the word "blob" in a song before, so I'm thrilled regardless of the outcome. :)

lyrics

I hear her scratching the door
I hear her climbing the stairs
She’ll never give me a moment’s rest
Unless I brush all her hair

It’s only six in the morning
and she ain’t gonna wait
Honestly I gotta do everything
For my tiny roommate

Oh my Amelia, what are you thinkin?
Amelia, Amelia

I gotta pay all the bills
Cuz she don’t have a job
Sits by the window and sleeps all day
In a cute little blob

She walks around on all fours
Like it’s nothing at all
Still, I never knew I could feel so big
For someone so small

That’s my Amelia, wonder what is she thinkin?
Amelia, Amelia

Look after me, Mealie, if you might
I will too and I think that we might be alright

Time to turn out the lights
It’s another day gone
Tomorrow she’ll do the same old thing
She’ll help me hold on

Oh my Amelia, I wonder what are you thinkin?
Amelia
